What a spectacle! On Tuesday and Wednesday this week some very proud parents, grandparents and staff were treated to three very special performances of The Frog Prince Continued. Our Foundation students were very impressive in their characterisation, stagecraft and, most of all, their confidence. Each performance was entertaining and humorous. Each audience also got to see a snippet of the Middle School Madagascar production from earlier this term. It was fascinating to see the way in which the development of skills in those students began in very much the same way as this week’s performances. Congratulations to all of our Foundation students and to Jacinta O’Leary! TWILIGHT MARKET We are looking forward to the Twilight Market on Friday 5 December! There will be entertainment, prizes, children’s activities and more than 50 market and food stalls! As well as the great opportunity for an early Christmas celebration it is the ideal event for Christmas shopping!! Check out the Warranwood Primary School Twilight Market Facebook page.

There is still time to bring a new game. We will be collecting until Wednesday next week. Transition We run a number of programs during this time of the year to help students make a successful transition to their classes for the following year. Staff work together to plan developmentally appropriate activities that help students get to know some new faces and are more familiar with the next year level. Please make sure that you support your child by being positive about exciting times to come. Our final transition session will be on Tuesday December 9 and where possible students are in their 2015 classes with their teacher.

Yvonne Reid/Ann Mangan Challenge Coordinators Kurburoo Visited Warranwood On Monday, the school leaders had their Kurburoo Kinder buddies visit Warranwood PS. We had a fantastic time. When they arrived they were nervous, but soon overcame their shyness and they were so excited and happy! We gave our special letters that we made for them. They absolutely loved them. We gave a tour around the school, then we met at the oval to play fun activities like the parachute, skipping ropes, hoola hoops and throwing balls. The parachute was the most popular and lots of fun. After the activities we played grab the tail. We went back to the Senior School building to have our picnic. There were sandwiches, fairy bread, biscuits and more yummy treats to share! Then unfortunately, they had to leave us. We gave a big hug goodbye and wished them luck for the future. Five of them are coming to Warranwood! They had lots of fun laughing, playing and enjoying themselves. We will miss them.
